Chicago Office Food Truck Catering

Upgrade your office lunch in Chicago with live, on-site food truck catering that rivals any kitchen on the Mag Mile. Instead of reheated trays or hurried walks to Randolph Street for take-out, bring the chefs right to your loading dock or parking lot. Our trucks roll in fully equipped to cook à la minute, serving piping-hot, gourmet meals that keep your team productive and safely indoors—especially handy during those brisk Lake Michigan winters.

Whether your headquarters sits in the Loop, West Loop, River North, or out by the Fulton Market tech corridor, Best Food Trucks gives you a rotating lineup of Chicago’s favorite rolling restaurants. Craving slow-smoked barbecue? Book Soul & Smoke for melt-in-your-mouth brisket and soulful sides. Need a Latin flare for Friday? La Cocinita Chicago parks curbside with Venezuelan-inspired arepas and tacos that turn any conference room into a fiesta.

For teams that run on sandwiches, The Fat Shallot delivers gourmet classics—think truffle BLTs and buffalo chicken—perfect for that midday brainstorm near Willis Tower. If handheld comfort is on the agenda, impress clients with golden Argentinian pockets from 5411 Empanadas. And when the craving for Sicilian street eats hits, La Comodita rolls up with arancini and fresh pasta that make your break room feel like Little Italy on Taylor Street.

Using our industry-leading scheduling platform, you can browse menus, lock in dates, and manage multiple trucks in minutes—no endless email chains required. Our Chicago-based catering pros handle permits, parking, and power hookups, plus provide live support before, during, and after service. From 25 employees in a River North startup to 2,500 staff in a suburban campus, we scale to your headcount and budget.

Ditch buffet pans and discover why food truck catering for offices in Chicago is the talk of LaSalle Street. Book today and turn your next lunch hour into the tastiest team-building event in the city.

Supporting Chicago’s Small Food Truck Businesses

Choosing Chicago office food truck catering isn’t just convenient for your team—it’s a direct investment in the city’s vibrant small-business community. Every time a truck pulls up outside your Loop high-rise or Ravenswood warehouse, you’re putting revenue into the hands of local owners who live in neighborhoods like Pilsen, Bronzeville, and Avondale. These family-run kitchens on wheels keep Chicago’s culinary scene innovative and authentic, all while creating jobs right here in the 312.

Food trucks also give your corporate catering a sustainable edge. Because they cook to order in compact, energy-efficient galleys and rely on digital menus instead of disposable flyers, trucks generate far less waste than traditional buffet setups. Many of our Chicago partners even run on biodiesel and source produce from regional farms in Indiana and downstate Illinois—shrinking your event’s carbon footprint without shrinking portion sizes.

So the next time you type “corporate catering near me” or “office lunch catering Chicago” into Google, skip the chafing dishes and let a local food truck park outside your building. You’ll get fresh, chef-crafted meals, boost the South Side–to–North Side economy, and show your team—and the planet—some Chicago-style love.

The food was great and had a good variety of flavors. The owner could have been friendlier and that is why I am only giving 4 stars.

Truck arrived well before the event to prepare. The owners/workers were very friendly as I met them upon arrival. They provided a varied selection of entrees to satisfy everyone's tastes and provided options for those with dietary restrictions. Food was also delicious per the team; I can say the burgers and burritos were a hit.

They arrived early, they were ready to go when promised (even a little early) and had plenty of food for everyone. The line went quick and everyone enjoyed them! They were so friendly, too! I will definitely have them back in the future.
